are you trying to punish the kid or help him? 29" or 30" is insane. Don't use the cage as a determining factor, you can put just about anyone in a cage and they will hit balls that are at the same speed and location everytime..
Most 9-10yr olds can bareley swing a 30".
the rival and prodigy aren't that good they are a decent alloy bat witha fierce endload and dent and crack very easy so it lets you know how thin the walls are.
It is easier to flex a alloy bat over a composite that isn't broken in.
when kids are under 11 most can't and aren't strong enough...
Neither bat is legal in little league or usssa.
In usssa they need one of three things.
1. Thumb print stamp new in 2011
2. Old usssa stamp
3. Be wood
Little league it must be in list
Ok this will be my last response on here to this guy.
He emailed me right away saying dent and small crack and just wanted to bring that to my attention.
I acknowledged dent as that is listed in ad said I never saw a crack.
I told him if he wasn't happy mail bat back. He then started to...
This will not happen. He receieved bat pictured and the part about dent was in sbf ad (I forgot I had put it in there). He is now having buyers remorse. I will refund purchase price once bat is received.
I am done. If I receive bat I will issue back refund.
Have a nice night.
If that is a ball mark I apologize as I always clean bats before i send them. I will be the man in this deal as I have been here the lingest and still offer the refund if $55 once bat is in MY hands, if pp claim is rescinded.
